Under the theme **“The Dreamatic Circus”** DELF 2026 brings together creators, experts and industry leaders to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is unleashing boundless creativity and redefining digital entertainment and content creation experiences. Over the three-day event, more than 60 distinguished leaders and professionals from the technology, entertainment and creative sectors in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and around the world will discuss how AI, immersive technologies and cutting- edge innovations are reshaping content creation and entertainment experiences. As AI continues to lower the barriers to creation, the content industry is rapidly evolving from content production toward the development of the IP economy. This year’s forum will focus on how AI empowers creators and enterprises to build globally competitive original intellectual properties (IPs), while examining how Cyberport’s AI infrastructure, innovation ecosystem and international network can help transform innovative ideas into commercialised products, brands and globally recognised IPs, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading digital entertainment and IP innovation hub in Asia. **Dr Rocky Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberport,** said: “Artificial intelligence is reshaping the cultural and creative industries, opening up unprecedented opportunities for creators, businesses and society. DELF 2026 brings together technology, creativity and business to foster cross-sector collaboration, advance original content creation, support IP incubation and accelerate commercial applications. Leveraging its AI infrastructure, industry ecosystem and global partnership network, Cyberport will continue to support innovative enterprises and original IP creators in seizing the opportunities of the AI era and expanding into international markets.” Today, Cyberport also hosted a special panel discussion titled **“From AI Creation to Global IP: New Opportunities for the Entertainment Industry,”** bringing together industry experts to explore emerging opportunities in content creation, IP incubation and commercialisation in the age of AI. Moderated by **Ir Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport**, the discussion featured** Mr Frankie Tam, Creative Director of Ultra Instinct Limited; Ms Polly Yeung, Chief Executive Officer of Gudo Inc.; and Ms Louie Cheng, Director of AI Education and OPC Entrepreneurship Incubation at FizzDragon**. Panellists agreed that AI is not only significantly enhancing content creation efficiency but is also accelerating the transition of the content industry into the era of the IP economy, creating broader commercial and international development opportunities for Hong Kong’s original IPs. **Ir Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport,** said: “AI is unlocking unprecedented creative possibilities and injecting fresh momentum into Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries. As the industry enters a new phase of transformation, our focus should go beyond encouraging the creation of original content. We must also help promising IP develop long-term value, progressing from creative ideas to practical applications, and from individual works to recognised brands. Cyberport will continue to advance its public mission by connecting technology, creativity, talent and industry resources, empowering more local creators and enterprises to harness AI and turn Hong Kong’s creativity into market-ready outcomes with international potential.” Over the three days, the forum will feature discussions on a wide range of topics, including **AI collaboration, IP ecosystem development, the cultural and creative economy, smart cities, and future living**. Speakers and representatives from organisations such as the **University of Southern California (USC), The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, TVB Plus, GGWP, Mei Ah Entertainment, and Xi’an XR Film Industry Base** will share insights on how AI is driving innovation, commercialisation and globalisation across the creative industries. In addition, the interactive experience zone will feature **four themed areas and more than 35 experiential activities**, showcasing diverse digital entertainment and smart living scenarios powered by AI, immersive technologies and other advanced innovations. The four themed zones include: * **Arts & Culture** – featuring the immersive interactive art exhibition _Another World: RADIANCE_, Cyberport’s original immersive cultural exhibition _The Reveries of Ancient Egypt_, Hong Kong’s first XR 6D experience _Harbour Dreams: Hong Kong XR Adventure_, and the complete VR experience _Versailles: The Lost Gardens of the Sun King_ VR experience. * **Digital Entertainment** – showcasing innovative projects including Nikopicto’s interactive skateboard experience _SkateAway Circus_, TVB_ Music Money Monster System_, and the FizzDragon AI Short Drama Creation Platform. * **Smart Living & Business** – featuring products such as Genesis One’s _3D & AI Smart Fashion Platform_, allowing visitors to experience how technology is transforming everyday life. * **Robotics & Drones** – presenting consumer robotics innovations such as combat robots and AI interactive smart vehicles developed by Jin Technology, alongside the **“Charting the Future: eVTOL Inaugural Test Flight,”** highlighting the latest developments in interactive technology, the low-altitude economy and smart mobility.
